Graphene is a paradox: It is the thinnest material known to science, yet also one of the strongest. Now, researchers at the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering have shown that graphene is also highly resistant to fatigue – able to withstand more than a billion cycles of high stress before it breaks.
